P0STOFFICE TRACERS
Complications of Red-Tape and Silent Detect
ives After Dishonest Clerks.

The red-tape Of the Postofice Department of
this great government sometimes gets awfuily
knotted. The other day a gentleman OF this
city received an official postal card stating that
letter directed to him was held for postage, and
that it would be forwarded on receipt of q two
cent stamp. After considerable delay, the letter
was received with the following explanation:
''The Philadelphia Office (where the delinquent
letter was mailed) made mistake by sending
you the official card printed for the St. Louis
Office instead Of using the card OF the Phila-
delphia office. thereby causing you to send the
card and twocent stamp to the ST. Louis Office
instead of to the Philadelphia Office. This card
and two-cent stamp were sent to the Phila-
delphia Office with directions to forward the let
ter to your address as shown by your note to the
postmaster at this place (St. Lonis) But they
have again made an in sending the letter
to me instead of to you" The letter was finally
received from St Louis.

BASEBALL AFFAIRS.
What Was Done at the Stockholders Meeting
Last Night-More Money Needed.

Not less than two hundred prominent bust
ness men of the city were in the parlor at the
Bates House, last night. to discuss baseball
matters and to perfect the arrangements of the
Indianapolis club Frank Morrison presided,
and Albert Ovens acted as secretary. It was
understood that the meeting was to effect per-
manent organization but j. T. Brush suggested
that it would be unwise to elect officers until
constitution, by laws, rules and regulations for
the government of the club wero adopted The
prime object of the meeting, he thought, should
be to make arrangements for raising more
money. He said only enough money
had been raised to pay for tho
League franchise, and that the amount
would have to be increased to SO, 000 Unless
more money forthcoming there would be
nothing left for the support of the club. The
citizens of indianapolis must come forward and
back the enterprise. He moved that a comrait-
tee Of five be appointed to draft rules for the
government of the club, and report on q perma-
nent organization at meeting to be held to-
morrow night. This motion prevailed, and the
following gentlemen were appointed as the COM
nlttee: Louis Newberger /. S. Gordon A. j.
Treat, ". A. Van Buren, and George w. Burn
ham.
1t was suggested that the city ought to be
thoroughly canvassed for subscriptions by the
middle of the week. and the following commit.
tee, composed of gentlemen from all branches
Of business, appointed for the

Manager Durham spoke at length on the
| prospects of the club, and said there was everv
reason to believe it would prove good financial

| to be played on the Indianapolis grounds during

tickets, which to be sold at
